    摘要: A method, apparatus and computer program are provided for allocating power amount a plurality of computing devices. The method includes determining a current power capping amount for each of a plurality of computing devices and obtaining a current power usage of each computing device. The method further includes determining, for each computing device, an updated power capping amount based on whether or not the current power usage of the computing device has reached the current power capping amount of the computing device during a current period of time. The updated power capping amount is allocated to the respective computing devices, and a power supply is caused to deliver power to each computing device in an amount up to the updated power capping amount that has been allocated to the respective computing device.

    摘要: A server system includes a server rack having a plurality of slots, a plurality of servers and a plurality of memory cards. Each server is positioned on a respective slot of the server rack. Each memory card is programmed with information relating to a location of the respective server at the server rack. Each server comprises a controller and an interface coupled to the controller. The respective memory card is brought into an electrical connection with the interface to transmit the information relating to the corresponding location of the respective server to the controller.

    摘要: An apparatus provides an extendable rail assembly including a track for securing to a rack, a first rail slidably coupled to the track, and a second rail slidably coupled to the first rail. The first rail is movable relative to the track between retracted and extended positions, wherein the first rail includes first and second rail sections coupled together by a pivot joint. The second rail is movable relative to the first rail between retracted and extended positions. Furthermore, with the first rail in the extended position and the second rail in the extended position, the pivot joint allows the second rail and the second rail section of the first rail to pivot relative to the track and the first rail section of the first rail. A pair of rail assemblies may be secured to a rack to support a member, such as a server.

    摘要: One embodiment discloses a method and apparatus for synchronizing IP information of virtual machines. The method includes: obtaining an IP relevant message of at least one virtual machine within a subnet, recording IP information and connection information of the at least one virtual machine based on the IP relevant message, and modifying connection information of a specific virtual machine in response to migration of the specific virtual machine. The apparatus corresponds to the method. With the method and apparatus above, IP information and connection information of respective virtual machines within the subnet are recorded regularly and routinely. Once a certain virtual machine is migrated, updating and modifying connection information of the migrated virtual machine is only needed, but without a need for resending a request to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Thus, network disruptions caused by non-synchronization of IP information when the virtual machine is migrated are avoided.

    摘要: Systems and methods for reducing interference in wireless communication among computing devices are disclosed herein. In accordance with an aspect, a first wireless communication device is provided that is operably connected to a first server and configured to wirelessly communicate information associated with the first server. The method includes determining, at the first wireless communication device, presence of a second wireless communication device operably connected to a second server. The method also includes negotiating with the second wireless communication device to establish a plan for sharing wireless communication airspace between the first wireless communication device and the second wireless communication device. Further, the method includes controlling communication based on the plan for sharing wireless communication airspace.
